After snapping their 19-game losing streak with a 19-14 win over the Washington Redskins, the Detroit Lions finally saw a bump in their ranking this week.

In fact, they're now in the mid-20s, for the most part. Well, except for Joe Theisman (pronounced THEEZ-man, as my friend Ryan is wont to declare from time to time during a football discussion over a scotch or six).

The former Redskins "great" bumped the Lions up one slot, from 31 to 30. Isn't that a bit like Phil Fulmer ranking an undefeated Michigan team as the No. 4 team in the country?

SI.COM: 25 (30) The Lions get bumped up five spots this week because winners get rewarded here at the SI.com NFL Power Rankings. It's kind of like the "Coffee is for closers" line if there are any "Glengarry Glen Ross" fans out there. Especially winners we predicted would win after 19 consecutive losses.

FOX Sports: 26 (30) RECORD IS JUST RIGHT: HAIL TO THE REDSKINS! HAIL TO THE VICTORS! Give it up for Matt Stafford, Jim Schwartz and the Motown revival. Now let's return to reality, as the Lions will be 1-5 heading into their Week 7 bye after losing to Chicago, Pittsburgh and Green Bay the next three weeks.
